BLOOD FREELY SPILLED.
Four Desperadoes Killed By q
Sheriff's Posse.
The Medical Congress Opened
By President Cleveland.
Interfering With the Meeting
Held in Ennis.
Desperate Shooting ARRAY.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Sept. 5.-A
desperate shooting affair occurred last
night at Holbrook, Apache county, Ariz..
and in which Andy Cooper and a half
brother named Samuel Blevins, were
killed by Sheriff Owens and John BE
wins and Nose B. Roberts wounded; the
former slightly and the latter MORALLY.
The men killed and wounded have been
members of a desperate gang of horse
thieves, who have been a terror to the
law-abiding citizens of Yavapai and
Apache counties and openly boosted that
the officers were afraid to arrest them.
They have lately been engaged in a
cattle wal at Tonic basin, in which sew
eral lives have been lost. Sheriff Null
vernon, of Yavapai county, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriffs Francis and Odell,
have been in pursuit of this gang for
several weeks, but were unable to effect
their capture. On Monday last Sheriff
Owens learned that the four men had ar
rived in Holbrook and were residing in a
small house near the railroad track.
Armed with a Winchester the officer
started alone to arrest the desperadoes.
Arriving at the house he knocked and
upon the door being opened by Andy
Casper the officer informed him that he
had a warrant for his arrest.
The only reply received was a bullet
which passed through the sheriffs coat,
fortunately without iniuring him. The
fire was returned and Cooper fell dead.
Shooting then became general. Owens
took a position at the window, shooting
all three of the men inside of the house.
Samuel Blevins, one of the killed, is a
boy only IA years of age, but fully as des-
perate as his older companions. The
coroner's Jury fully exonerated Sheriff
Owens, who has the sympathy of the en-.
tire community.

Brutality Outraged.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. about
10 o'clock on Wednesday a well dressed
man about 30 years of age drove to the
home of Miss Kate Selling, a young and
attractive midwife, and engaged her for
immediate attendance on his wife. After
entering the carriage an entertaining con
versation was carried on by the man until
finally Miss Sizzling called his attention to
the fact that they we're in the country
and demanded to know where he was
driving.
The mans manner changed in an in
slant and he Kissed: Now I've got you
where | van you; you cannot escape my
embrace" He tied the hitching strap to
her neck and dragged her from the buggy
and off the road into the woods. In vain
was her pleading and her resistance. The
brute tied her to a tree, tore off her gar
ments and accomplished his hellish de
signs. He then twisted part of her I'M
derclothing into a rope, with which he
tied her arms on her back. He threat
ened to shoot her, but finally desisted,
and drove off. leaving her there in a
helpless condition.
After one hours hard work she finally
freed herself partly, then crept to the
nearest farm house, whose inmates she
aroused. She found no sympathy there,
but finally got help from a family friend
in the city. The detectives have found
no trace of the brute.

The Ennis Meeting.

DUBLIN, Sept. 5.-Ten thousand per-
sons assembled at Ennis yesterday to at
tend the meeting of the Irish National
league. The police Saturday night took
possession of the Hill of Ballycore, where
it was intended to hold the meeting. At
2 o'clock the procession including Messrs.
Timothy Sullivan, Dillon, Cox. Sheehy,
William O'Brien, and Philip Stanhope,
all members of the house of commons,
and several priests moved towards Bally-
core hill, the approaches to which were
guarded by soldiers and police. The
procession finding further progress barred,
halted in a field and Messrs. Sullivan,
Stanhope and O'Brien made speeches
from their carriages. A troop of hussars,
headed by Colonel Turner, ordered the
meeting to dispense within five minutes.
Stanhope handed Colonel Turner a copy
of the resolutions adopted by the meeting
claiming home rule, declaring adherence
to Parnell, thanking the Liberal party,
pledging resistance to the proclamation
of the league and denouncing land grab,
bling. StanhOpe declared that the pro-
ceedings of the meeting were legal and
that if a collision occurred he would hold
Colonel Turner responsible. Turner re-
piled hat he was bound to execute his
orders. The procession returned to En-
mis- and O'Brien addressed the crowd in
0'ConnelIs square. Soldiers and police
again appearing, the procession passed
on to a hotel, which the leaders entered
and the crowd dispersed quietly.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The Post regards
the result at Ennis with lively s~atisfac,
ton. The Telegraph says: Seldom even
in the history of Irish agitation has a
greater 6asco been witnessed. The i'm,
posing Nationalist array had to sneak
off into field out Of the way of the pc,
lice to hold a meeting, until dispersed BY
a small troop of hussars."
The Net0S says: 1T is to the good
sense of the Irish people and their leader,
hat credit for the peaceful issue of the
day is due. Both parties did their duty
and both NAV claim a victory. Only the
authors of the proclamation are defeated
and rendered ridiculous"
The Standard reminds Pussy people
like Stanhope'' that whatever their posi-
tion inside the house of commons, outside
they are simply citizens, subject to law.
1t says the Ennis affair was a humbue
and wonders that anybody was ever seri
ously concerned about it,

Funeral of Engineer Shaw.

PUEBLO. Sept. Sat 3 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon occurred the funeral of David
Shaw, the engineer who sacrificed his life
to save his train in the d~eplorable wreck
twenty-four miles west of this city on the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad. The
funeral was held from the residence,
which had been such a happy little home,
on the South Side. Rev. r. b. Wright,
pastor Of the Congregational church,
conducted religious services, which were
very impressive, and then the Masonic
fraternity took charge and performed the
funeral rites. The interment was in the
Mountain View cemetery on the mesa.
A very large crowd attended the
funeral, including nearly twenty Knights
Templar from Canon City. The appear
nee of the knights Of Pueblo and Canon,
mounted, was a prominent feature of the
funeral.
Dave Shaw was a fine fellow and a
brave man, as well as a good engineer.
He was a native of West Virginia, and
about IS years old. He had been mar
ried only a few months.

~disbanded. The remainder of the day

Ign. The public buildings and depart
ments were all closed.
BosToN, Sept. 5.-A general suspen-
sion of business and a large influx of SUI

being trade unionists, while last year they
were chiefly Knights of Labor.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The structure
burned was the Theater Royal. 1t was
built after the latest designs, and was
deliberately finished, being considered one
Of the prettiest in the kingdom. There
was a full house tonight, and everything
was all right until the end of the third
act, at halt-past 10, when the drop scene
fell, and in a moment the whole stage was
a mass of fire.
A WILD PANIC PANIC ENsUED.
Occupants of the stalls, pit and dress
circle escaped after a dreadful crushing,
many being badly bruised. The actors
and actresses were in their dressing rooms
when the fire began, and all escaped. The

smoke. The occupants Of the upper circle
and gallery rushed to the windows,
screaming frantically. Many jumped
from the windows and were injured.
Others were rescued with the aid of

origin of the fire. 1t is only certain that
the flames broke out in the scene-shifting
department. Those who escaped say that
the special exit was properly opened.
The fire brigade arrived five minutes after
the breaking out of the flames, but

thrilling rescues. The majority OF the
victims were men and boys. About thirty
women were burned. When the fire

opened the door to escape, causing the
fire to burst through the drop scene and
to ignite the gallery.
